UK - Harman Pro UK has supplied Harlow's long-established live music venue, The Square, with a new Soundcraft MH2 front-of-house console. For nearly thirty years, The Square has been renowned for its reputation on the 'up-and-coming' circuit - many British bands who have played here in the past have subsequently gone on to great things, including Blur, Coldplay and Muse.

Stuart Graham of Harlow-based Clarity in Sound Light and Vision contacted Harman Pro UK's Gary Dent, who came down to The Square with a 24-channel MH2, and ran through the features with The Square's sound engineers. They liked what they saw and heard, and the MH2 offered them more flexibility than their old desk.

Comments Gary Dent: "The Square were very keen to get more into running on-stage monitor mixes, and their old desk just didn't have enough aux busses to do the job comfortably. But with the MH2, it was easy - there are ten auxes altogether." The Square's Steve Harcourt adds, "We have a spare pair of auxes for in-ear monitor mixes now - the old desk only had eight."

Dent arranged to loan the desk to the venue for a few weeks, and the sale was soon agreed. "I was impressed by the build quality of the desk," says Steve Harcourt, "and it's worked really well since we installed it."
